Cody, a new humanoid

Cody is a new humanoid robot, a work in progress at Healthcare Robotics Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta). This robot can open closet doors and drawers and can follow a person holding it by the hand. Cody is manipulated with a remote control just like those for video games, or directly by interacting with it (touching it) via its multiple sensors. The humanoid has several video cameras and a laser detector.
